Yes. There are several ways a teacher can check children in. [Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/A9BokBVNyqc) 1. Use [Batch Check In](/procare-desktop/docs/child-batch-check-in-or-out) and *Filter* the *Classroom* header to show only children in a particular room – OR – ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/Can+a+teacher+check+in_122023_image+1.png) 1. Assign the teacher as a pickup person for each child and then: 1. Use [Receptionist Check In.](/procare-desktop/docs/receptionist-check-in) 2. Or, have the teacher check children in at a check-in computer. 3. Or, for Procare Cloud customers, use the [Check-In Web App](/procare-desktop/docs/using-procare-web-apps). ### Can I clear, remove, erase check-in information and re-register a person? Yes. You can clear, remove and erase all ID’s, passwords, fingerprint records, etc. as if the person had never used the check-in system. This may be helpful in cases where a person has had trouble registering or re-registering. 1. How to begin depends on whether the person is an authorized pickup or employee: 1. Authorized Pickup: Go to the [Child’s Information & Relationships](/procare-desktop/docs/child-information-relationships) screen and dbl-click name of the pickup person to access their [Person Information](/procare-desktop/docs/person-information) screen. 2. Staff Person: Go to their [Employee Information and Relationship](/procare-desktop/docs/employee-information-and-relationships) screen. 2. When you see the *New Register* button, hold down the *CTRL key* on your keyboard (image below) and click the button. You will see a warning message that all check-in and registration information for this person will be removed. 3. Hold control and click ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/Can+I+clear%2C+remove%2C+erase+check-in+info_122023_image+2) Click once on the *New Register* button to generate a new Temporary Registration Number so the person may re-register. ### Can I monitor who checks in? Yes. Download the [Check-In Monitor](/procare-desktop/docs/check-in-monitor) to see when a child or employee is checked in/out. The monitor displays names and photos of anyone checking in or out in the last 5 minutes. ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/Can+I+monitor+who+checks+in+1129_1.png) ### How can I tell which children haven’t Checked In? Depending on whether you have your children on [schedules](/procare-desktop/docs/assign-child-schedules) or not, there are two different approaches for finding children you expect to be checked in for the day, but aren’t. #### If you’ve assigned schedules to each child. Use the *Scheduled but not Checked In* report. You can find it in *Reports> Standard Reports> Attendance Tracker> Not In Attendance> Scheduled but not Checked In.* #### If you’re not using schedules. a. Use Family Data> Functions> Attendance Tracker> Batch Check In/Out. b. Set the Batch Type to *Check In.* c. Click *Primary Classroom.* d. Click *Refresh List.* e. Click the box to select all children. f. DO NOT SELECT *Process.* g. Click Report. This is your list of all enrolled children who are not currently checked in. h. Click *Exit.* ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/How+to_122023_image+1.png) ### How can volunteers and counselors use Check-In? If you have interns/volunteers/counselors/or repeat visitors to your center, you may want to either record their times or allow them entry through the door (if you are using the remote door controller). **Before you Begin** Create a unique [Work Area](/procare-desktop/docs/work-areas) and [Classroom](/procare-desktop/docs/classrooms) for the guest to check into, unless you are fine with having them check in to an existing classroom. (which might affect some classroom ratio reports) **Set Up the Account** The quickest process, when using a check-in workstation, would be to: 1. [Create an account/family](/procare-desktop/docs/account-family-information) named something like “Guest”. 2. Create a fictitious payer for the account. 3. For every non-employees you want to get through the door controller or have a time card for, create a child record. 4. Enter an enrollment date. ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/How+can+volunteers+and+counselors+use+Check-In_122023_image+1.png) 1. In the [child relationship](/procare-desktop/docs/child-information-relationships) screen (for each person) add them as a pickup for themselves and assign them to the classroom you want them to check into. ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/How+can+volunteers+and+counselors+use+Check-In_122023_image+2.png) 1. Assign them a [temporary registration number](/procare-desktop/docs/temporary-registration-number-for-check-in), and have them register as all of your other parents do. **Note:** At this point, they can check themselves in or out using the check-in workstation. If you do not want to have their times entered on a time card, uncheck the “Require Check In/Out to Open Door” in the [Check-In options](/procare-desktop/docs/check-in-options) screen.
